in your opinion
And I am asking for honesty. Should I not even get my hopes up for this cycle? A little background....back to back chemicals (hate that term)ina fairly short amt of time. last one was end Feb/early Mar, seeing RE (dr b) have a few issues (clotting, natural killers cell, 2 kinds of activated antibodies and a fibroid). This is the first cycle I am kind of doing IUI without the artificial part. I am on Femara,Prednisone and will be doing ovidrel and at some point lovenox going to BD on our own though.
Not sure if I should even expect that something could happen the first time. What do you think?

Re: in your opinion
If you are taking all of those precautions, I think you have every chance in the world to get pregnant. It seems to me like you don't have trouble GETTING pregnant, just STAYING pregnant.
Keep your hopes up

It sounds like you are taking enough medication to help the process along. I have the same background - 2 early miscarriages. For me, it's the after-intercourse/insemination period that is more important.

I just feel we have been able to get PG pretty easily and I couldn't really find anything to show my chances would increase all that much. I figured 1 or 2 cycles this way and if doesn't happen we'll do the IUI. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
